I just had to change several subsections to subsubsections. There were not enough of these to bother switching to search-and-replace in my text editor, but enough to make the process in LyX tedious. While doing this it occurred to me that the MS Word Format Painter (copy/paste format paintbrush) feature would be useful in a case like this for doing such things in LyX. Might this be possible in the newer 1.4? (Or even in 1.3.5?)
Kevin, Why not leave LyX trim, light, and fast and do more tedious editing directly in the *.lyx file? I have a real peeve about those who want linux software (or any F/OSS software) to work the way _anything_ from Redmond works. When Microsoft stuff works, that is. Most of the DOS and Winduhs software sold by Microsoft is of very poor quality. Just because most of the computer using world is used to that way does not mean we should emulate it. Read Nick Petreley's end-of-issue column "Skin Cream Not Scum" in the latest Linux Journal. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be on-line. Let's do it better. Rich -- Richard B.
